i think so solar street lights is one of the better source of light for developing countries with any energy charges
our company name is Alternate Energy Systems Corporation.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the comment. We use 10 milliWatt LEDs so our lighting units act as the perfect non-invasive accent. We were concerned with light pollution as well, so we made sure that our units would not be disturbing the night skies.

My only complaint with these lights is that they would contribute significantly to light pollution at night. This is a major problem in cities and it is irresponsible to sell a fixture that directs all its light skyward.

hey everyone!

thanks for taking the time to learn more about our solar LEDs. You’ve highlighted a few issues with regards to reflecting over an entire surface. Being that our RSC fixtures are embedded flush into the surface and emit a solid output of light (unlike traditionally sharp points of LED light), glare bombs should be avoided.

If any of you are interested I can pass along some video reviews of our line as well.

Thanks again and if you have any questions, feel free to contact me at john@solarcynergy.com!

Where do you live? In states with low or no snowfalls, the far left lane has reflectors inserted into the roadway in the left-lane line. They reflect headlight beams and protrude hign enough to warn drivers they are drifting into the on-coming lane or the road shoulder. They can’t use these in areas frequently used by snowplows. Is this the issue?

sean” I’d say current street lights that turn into glare bombs on wet paved roads are pretty terrible. this is because they are pointed downward at a perfect enough angle to cause such glare. perhaps if LEDs are coincident with the wt surface, they will not create this same glare bomb effect.

there have been several studies conducted by the LRC (lighting research center) on roadway and transportation lighting. check it out: http://www.lrc.rpi.edu/programs/Futures/LF-Auto/roadway.asp

if you look on solarcynergy’s site, their RSC line is absolutely beautiful and a perfect complement to modern designs.

very clean and simple.

It seems these would be really useful in a hard rain, especially at night, but not so great in snow. Still, good thinking!

these would only work on roads in warmer climates….

otherwise they would all disappear in the first snowfall as the snowplow scrapes them away!

yeah, i would think that lights down the middle of a road would get confusing with oncoming headlights. but the true applications of these lights are exciting. perhaps the overhead lamps on highways could be replaced with solar.

Sean, you think so? Hmmm, I’m not sure. Like I said, it was off the top of my head, so I didn’t think it through.
Time for a test I’d say!

LEDs on a reflective surface like a highway, covered in water and oil, would cause the lights to reflect over the entire surface of the road.

I’ve always been annoyed with the fact that the dividing lines on highways aren’t that visible when it’s raining.
Using lights to mark the lane you’re in, would be very helpful, wouldn’t it?

Just an idea off the top of my head for these lovely little LEDs.
